Any chance of the facility to add footing information (in addition to the page number)? I would like to show the file name (e.g. mysong.mus) and the date and time I printed the page. Just as I can do in MS Word.

This would help me find the document I need to update and also would allow me to keep track of the most recent printed copy.

Anyone else miss this feature?

The full Finale has the ability of creating page footers.

The file name is available as a text insert item.
Unfortunately Windows Finale displays the full path as file name (not just the file's own name), so the text insert "File Name" is useful in Mac Finale only.

The date and time when you printed the page, is not available as a text insert item in Finale.

I finally (no pun intended. Nah, pun intended!) found a work-around for this. If I add text to the copyright box in File Info, most of the time Print Music prints it at the bottom of the page.

Funny how it doesn't always print it. I am still puzzling that one.
